Attractively set within 400 acres of parkland and woodland, Balbirnie Park Caravan Club Site offers a variety of lovely walks and also has marked paths suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. The caravan site is a great holiday location for everyone in the family. You have a choice of pitches: those grouped in open areas and surrounded by statuesque mature trees or others located in charming shady glades.
The local area offers good amenities with cafes, a grocery shop and several local pubs, including the Laurel Bank Hotel and Balbirnie House Hotel and Bistro. The site is only a 10-15 minute walk from Markinch train station, where you can easily catch a train to Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth.
The Kingdom of Fife is virtually on the doorstep of Balbirnie Park Caravan Club Site and the tranquil rural surroundings let you unwind from the bustle of everyday life. The nearby East and West Lomond hills are ideal for keen hikers and climbers. The sporting and leisure facilities in nearby Glenrothes and Kirkcaldy make for a fun day out. Within a radius of 5 miles from the caravan site there are swimming pools, ten pin bowling, an ice rink, go-karting and horse riding. Add to this the fact that there are no less than 30 golf courses in Fife, including the famous Royal and Ancient at St Andrews, you can't fail to keep the whole family happy.
